In a episode of “Cheers”, Cliff is seated at the bar describing the
Buffalo Theory
to Norm. I don’t think I’ve ever heard the concept explained any
better than this
"Well you see, Norm, it's like this . . . A herd of buffalo can only
move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the heard is hunted, it
is the lowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This
natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general
speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular
killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as
the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol
kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest
brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates
the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient
machine.
And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers."
